It’s disheartening news for music lovers as the much-anticipated Caloundra Music Festival 2024 on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast has been cancelled due to the escalating cost issues after a 17 year run.
Organisers of the Caloundra Music Festival announced that the event would not go ahead this year.
Caloundra Music Festival director Richie Eyles said:
The only sensible decision we could have made at this point in time was to cancel this year’s event because the numbers didn’t add up. But let’s hope that’s not the way it stays,” the festival director said.
“We’ve been on a great ride for the past 17 years at Caloundra and we’ve put on some fabulous artists and great memories.
“We’ve all got our fingers crossed for a return in 2025.”
However, if you find yourself with some remaining disposable income, here’s a reminder of the vibrant experiences you could indulge in from past festival line-ups.
